Hand Interactions

Use hands to interact with VR prototypes for a truly interactive experience.

Hand gestures

Selecting an object

To find a selectable object, move your hand to move the cursor over objects in the scene. The cursor will move to an object if it’s selectable.

To select an object, pinch your index finger and thumb together. The cursor will turn lime green when the select gesture is active.

Resetting position to the origin

To reset your position to the origin, pinch both your index fingers and thumbs together at the same time.

Resetting all interactions in play mode

To reset all interactions in play mode, make two fists with your thumbs pointing upwards.

Teleporting with hands

To enable this feature, open Share in the top toolbar, open Prototype settings, and toggle on “Enable teleportation with hands”.

Once teleportation with hands is enabled, lay either hand flat with your palm facing up. Once a ray appears from your index finger you can:

1. Adjust the length of the ray by moving your hand up or down vertically, while keeping it flat

2. Teleport to the end of the ray by curling your index finger towards your palm.
